The Neighborhood:
South of the center and towards the salt pans lies one of Bonaire's best-known residential and vacation areas, traditionally linked to Harry Belafonte. Belnem has grown into an umbrella name for upscale sub-neighborhoods like La Palma, Sabalpalm, Lima, Punt Vierkant and Playa Esmeralda. Here you are close to popular south-coast beaches such as Bachelor's Beach and iconic dive sites, ideal for sunsets and relaxed beach life. It's a quiet residential area with quick routes to the airport and downtown Kralendijk.
Windsock Turtle is approximately 4.1 kilometers from Van den Tweel supermarket, 1.3 kilometers from Dive Friends Port Bonaire dive center, 250 meters from Bachelor's Beach, 1.7 kilometers from the airport and 2 kilometers from Ocean Oasis restaurant.
Sunwise insider tip: From Windsock Turtle you can reach Bachelor's Beach in just a few minutes, a small sandy beach on the southern edge of Kralendijk. The beach sits at the foot of a low rock wall, creating a cozy, sheltered feel. It's a lovely spot for swimming and snorkeling in clear water with plenty of reef fish. Bring your snorkel gear, as there is a nice coral area right offshore. Thanks to its west-facing location, this is also a pleasant place to enjoy the late afternoon sun and colorful Caribbean skies.
Getting Around:
Bonaire and especially the hotspots like Washington Slagbaai National Park, the remote pristine beaches, and the kitesurf and windsurf locations, are best enjoyed with a rental car, as our lovely Caribbean island has so much more to offer beyond the immediate surroundings of Windsock Turtle. With your own car you can explore remote snorkel spots, dive sites and local restaurants at your own pace. We strongly recommend renting a car so you can get everywhere easily. Most roads on Bonaire are paved, but for nature areas like the park, a pickup truck or SUV is advisable. The park roads are unpaved and sometimes rough, making a regular car less suitable. There is no public transport on Bonaire and taxis are limited, especially on busy days when a cruise ship is in port.
Other Things to Note:
Check-in to Windsock Turtle is from 3:00 PM and check-out is until 10:00 AM. Early arrival or late departure may be possible on request, depending on other reservations. Smoking and pets are not allowed in our accommodations, and we kindly ask you to keep noise down at night. Enjoy your stay at Windsock Turtle!
